Cantor Fitzgerald, the money broker, has hired 15 staff in the US, including Harry Fry, former head of its US market data business, as part of an aggressive expansion of its debt capital markets division.

Fry rejoins as a managing director in Los Angeles, focusing on fixed income sales. He worked at Cantor for four years after joining in 2000 from rival Prebon Yamane, where he was chief executive in the US.

He worked most recently at Maxcor, a US broker, with Mark Valentine, who also joins Cantor's Los Angeles sales team.
